Kalimpong Calling : A Guide to the Perfect Family Destination

After spending three nights in Dooars region of North Bengal and wondering where’s the winter chills of the Himalayas, we drove to Kalimpong via Lava. Within an hour the weather changed as we made our way to the Lava monastery while shivering in the cold. And from there we drove to our hotel at Deolo Hill, Kalimpong – our sojourn for the next three days.

In this Kalimpong travel blog I will talk about this trip and share all practical tips and details for the perfect Kalimpong itinerary with family . But before that, a quick introduction of this offbeat town, which is now one of my favorite places in India.

A Quick Outline

Kalimpong – The Humble Sister of Darjeeling

Think of a British-era Hill station in India, a place to escape the scorching summer, see the mighty Kanchenjunga against the verdant tea gardens, seek some solace from the busy city while also enjoying great food and amazing nightlife! That’s Darjeeling, isn’t it? But every time I go there, the crowd and traffic keep increasing, making it impossible to explore as much as I’d want to with my little toddler and senior citizens of my family.

That’s where Kalimpong comes into picture – the humble sister of Darjeeling. It’s the same amalgamation of Anglo-Indian and Nepalese culture, throbbing markets, Tibetan monuments, tea gardens and Kanchenjunga views , but in a place that’s way less famous and easy to explore with family. 

Kalimpong town is the administrative center of the Kalimpong district in the northern region of West Bengal . Perched at 4101 ft above sea level, it offers temperate to cold weather throughout the year. It’s known for some of the best boarding schools, momos and monasteries. Sounds interesting? Let’s see the 3-day Kalimpong itinerary at a glance. 

The post contains affiliate links for tours, hotels etc. This means if you make any purchase through the links in the post, I may get a commission without any additional cost to you.

3-Day Kalimpong Itinerary – In a Nutshell

Day 1: Arrival and Exploration

Drive to Kalimpong via Lava while stopping at the scenic viewpoints on the route.

Stay at Morgan House, a heritage property owned and operated by West Bengal government with landscaped parks and Kanchenjunga views. However, you need to book in advance to get a room here. If you miss this, I recommend staying in neighborhood of Deolo Hills.

Day 2: Exploring the Key Attractions of Kalimpong

Morning to noon: Visit to Kalimpong Science City, a haven for curious kids of all age-groups. Continue your journey to the Hanuman Temple and Buddha Park. Then drive to Graham’s House boarding school. Then drive through scenic roads towards Kalimpong market for lunch.

Afternoon to Evening:

Visit Durpin Dara neighborhood – stop at viewpoints, visit the monastery. End the trip with a visit to Cactus Garden in Kalimpong. Relax and watch the starry night from your hotel.

Day 3: Exploring the countryside of Kalimpong District

Morning to Afternoon:

Embark on a day trip to the enchanting locales of Lolegaon, Rishap, and Charkhole. Each destination offers its unique charm, from tranquil forests and panoramic viewpoints to quaint villages nestled amidst nature. Enjoy lunch in one of the small cafes in Lolegaon.

Late Afternoon to evening:

Return to Kalimpong and head to Delo Park by 4 pm, just in time for an exhilarating paragliding experience. Soar high above the landscapes, taking in the majestic views from a bird’s-eye perspective. Conclude your day and your Kalimpong journey by watching the sunset from Delo Park.

How Many Days Are Enough for in Kalimpong

Kalimpong, like other places in Northern part of West Bengal is over 600 km away from the nearest big city Kolkata . Which means, it isn’t a weekend destination. Although one and a half days are enough to see Kalimpong’s highlight s, I highly recommend this three-day itinerary for a fully immersive experience with family. 

But people usually plan a holiday for at least 5 days for a trip to this part of West Bengal. During this time, you can combine a trip to Kalimpong with a trip to Dooars, or Darjeeling or even Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim. It’s an ideal place for summer vacation – a week off to the Eastern Himalayas. If you are looking for a Kalimpong tour package, check these out.

Where to Stay in Kalimpong?

If you are visiting with your family in summer or spring, I highly recommend staying at Deolo Hills. The place is secluded and has amazing views of the mountains. However, the disadvantage is the lack of availability of markets, or restaurants nearby. There are quite a few hotels here, Yuru Resort being the biggest and best known.

We stayed at Summit Barsana Resort , because Yuru was all booked when we planned.

My top recommendation remains Morgan House, which is the most sought-after place to stay in Kalimpong. You can book online on WBTDCL site .

If you prefer staying near the Kalimpong town, book the Sinclairs Retreat or Elgin Silver Oaks Resort & Spa .

How To Reach Kalimpong?

Siliguri is the closest city which also serves as the starting point for any tour to the north-east. The NJP railway station located here and the Bagdogra airport located 10 km from Siliguri are the main connecting points of north-east to the rest of India.

The most convenient route to reach Kalimpong is by air and road. The nearest airport to Kalimpong is Bagdogra Airport, located approximately 80 kilometers away. From the airport, you can easily hire a taxi or board a shared cab to reach Kalimpong. The journey takes around 3 to 4 hours, depending on the traffic and road conditions.

You can also reach Kalimpong by train. New Jalpaiguri Railway Station (NJP) is the nearest major railhead to Kalimpong, situated around 75 kilometers away. Several trains from major cities like Kolkata, Delhi, and Guwahati connect to NJP. From the station, you can hire a taxi or catch a bus to Kalimpong. The journey by road takes approximately 3 to 4 hours.

You can also take a bus from esplanade bus station in Kolkata. Book your ticket online from Kolkata to Siliguri here . Although there are AC buses which are more easily available than the trains, I’d prefer the overnight train journey to the 12-hour bus journey while travelling with a kid.

Kalimpong Itinerary in Detail

As I mentioned before, my first trip to Kalimpong was on a 10-day North Bengal vacation with my family in December. We took it slow as we had 3 senior citizens and an active toddler with us. We crafted our itinerary in a way such that we could slowly acclimatize to the lower temperatures and didn’t have to travel more than 100 km in a day.

Day 1: Journey to Kalimpong via Lava

The drive from Batabari (where we stayed in Dooars to Kalimpong is 90 km and takes 2.5 hours. Enroute is Lava, which is only 65 kilometers from Batabari, but in this journey you ascend from 800 ft at Batabari to 7200 ft at Lava. Be prepared for this drastic change of altitude, serpentine roads with several hairpin belts and drop in temperature when you take this journey.

If you are travelling from Jalpaiguri, then the route to Kalimpong via Lava is 138 km as shown in the map below. It will take around 5-6 hours to reach Kalimpong via this route considering the stops at Lava monastery and lunch break.

If you have small children or people prone to nausea at high altitudes take the precautionary medicines as prescribed by your doctor. Keep a warm jacket and cap in your carry-on luggage. Have a light breakfast before your journey to avoid nausea. Keep taking short breaks on your way to Lava to enjoy the changing scenary. 

Some of the where we stopped are the Ambiok Tea Garden and viewpoint, Chelkhola river viewpoint and Hanuman Mandir at Gorubathan.

Visiting Lava Monastery: A Spiritual Retreat Amidst the Clouds

Nestled at an altitude of 7014 feet (2,138 meters), Lava Monastery, also known as Lava Kagyu Thekchen Ling Monastery, stands as a beacon of spirituality amidst the serene landscapes of Lava. This Buddhist monastery is approximately 30 kilometers east of Kalimpong, offering a tranquil escape into spirituality and nature.

Its origins trace back to the 1980s, established under the guidance of the Third Kongtrul Rinpoche, Karma Lodro Chokyi Senge, one of the prominent figures in Tibetan Buddhism.

The monastery serves as a vital center for the study and practice of Buddhist philosophy, meditation, and rituals, following the Kagyu lineage, which is one of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism. This monastery not only provides a tranquil retreat for spiritual seekers but also plays a crucial role in preserving the rich Buddhist teachings and traditions.

Tourist Info: Weather: The monastery experiences cool to cold weather year-round, with fog often enveloping the area, adding to its mystical ambiance. Entry Fee: There is no entry fee. Open Times: 5:30 am to 5:30 pm, daily

Lunch on the way to Kalimpong

You can take a lunch break after visiting the Lava monastery. There are a few restaurants here which offer simple Tibetan food like momos (dimsums), noodels etc. The one where we had our lunch was right next to the Lava Monastery, and I can’t really recommend it. It’s not terrible, but it’s the first place in the world where I found chicken bones in chicken momos.

Reaching Kalimpong

We had put up in Summit Barsana, Deolo Hills . At 5590 feet, it is the highest point in the Kalimpong town, and gets very cold in the winters. The rooms are aesthetically decorated but too small. It was the week before Christmas and Christmas lights adorned this beautiful abode in the hills.

The highlight of this hotel, and all the hotels in this area is the majestic Kanchenjunga views, from your bedroom. We literally woke up to the view of the third highest mountain peak in the world and the panoramic view of the valley with Teesta River winding its way through Kalimpong.

Day 2: Exploring the Charming town of Kalimpong

Considering you chose the right place to stay, you are likely to wake up to the most memorable views of the hills. After that have a wholesome breakfast before starting your sightseeing tour. After a few photo-sessions against the views from the balcony, we drove off to our first attraction – the Kalimpong Science City.

Kalimpong Science City: Expanding Horizons

Kalimpong Science City, set against the backdrop of the majestic Himalayas, is designed as an educational playground where visitors of all ages can explore the wonders of science. It stands out as a beacon of learning, inviting curious minds to delve into the mysteries of the universe. It’s like an amusement park, but focused on education and science, rather than joyrides. Here are some highlights:

• 3-D Dinosaur Show: Step back in time with a captivating 3-D show that brings the ancient world of dinosaurs to life. It’s an experience that mesmerizes both children and adults, blending entertainment with education.
• Sculptures of Eminent Indian Scientists: Wander through the park and encounter sculptures of India’s greatest minds in science. These sculptures serve not only as a tribute but also as an inspiration, highlighting the contributions of scientists like C.V. Raman and A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.
• Science Experiments: Engage in hands-on experiments that make complex concepts accessible. The mirror puzzle and kaleidoscope offer fascinating insights into light and reflection, demonstrating the principles of physics in an interactive manner.

Dr. Graham’s Homes School

Dr. Graham’s Homes stands as a testament to the region’s rich cultural tapestry and colonial history. this sprawling educational institution was founded in 1900 by Dr. John Anderson Graham, a missionary from Scotland, with the noble aim of providing a home and quality education to the children of tea planters, British settlers, and local citizens.

Over the years, Graham’s House has morphed into a landmark of immense educational and historical significance, drawing visitors not just for its academic heritage, but also for its stunning architectural allure and the panoramic beauty of its surroundings.

Visiting Dr. Graham’s Homes School is an experience that transports you to a bygone era with its rich history, sprawling campus, and quaint architecture. The verdant surroundings and well-maintained buildings make it a picturesque site worth exploring for anyone interested in educational history, architecture, or simply enjoying a peaceful day amidst nature.

One of the highlights of this campus is the 19th century Gothic Church which was under renovation when we visited. My little one had fallen asleep in the car by now but woke up just in time to run around in the playground with Kanchenjunga still smiling bright in the backdrop.

This place reminded me of our trip to the Montfort High School in Yercaud , another amazing boarding school of the British era in the Easter Ghats of India.

Visiting Time : Monday to Friday . 9 a.m. to 3pm. Although we visited without any prior notice, it’s better to seek pre-approval by mailing at the email addresses [email protected] / [email protected] / [email protected]. Check out the official website for visitor’s guidelines.

Tourist Info – Entry Fee: No entry fee for the hill; nominal fees for monastery entry. – Open Times: Sunrise to sunset.

Day 3 : Exploring the hidden gems near Kalimpong

On day 3 we head out of the Kalimpong town into the interiors of the Kalimpong district. This is the beautiful countryside of Kalimpong where you can also spend a couple of days or more. We only had the time to visit Lolegaon and Charkhole on this day, You can also try spending some time exploring Rishop. We headed home targetting to reach Deolo Park by 4pm.

Drive from Kalimpong to Lolegaon

The road trip from Kalimpong to Lolegaon is a picturesque journey through the heart of the Eastern Himalayas, known for its scenic beauty and tranquil nature. To my surprise the road condition is absolutely amazing, with further construction going on to expand the road. As you embark on this route, you are greeted by lush green landscapes, meandering roads, and the majestic view of the Himalayan range, which stands as a backdrop to this stunning vista.

The road stretches for about 55 kilometers, taking approximately 2 to 2.5 hours, depending on the road conditions and weather. Along the way, we had the opportunity to witness the rich biodiversity of the region, including tall pine trees reminding us of the impending Christmas.

We stopped at Rishop, and just some random spots to stand and stare at the natural opulence of the place.

Check out the ten most beautiful and offbeat places to visit near Kalimpong .

Lolegaon Eco Park

One of the top attractions of Lolegaon is the Canopy Walk – a 180-meter-long hanging bridge through the forest. However, to our dismay, it was closed for visitors then (and now to the best of my knowledge). You should definitely check this with the local driver when you visit Kalimpong.

So, we decided to spend more time in the Lolegaon Eco Park.

It is also one of the few places on this route where you will get a pay for use toilet. It’s not at all up to the mark, but it’s decent for a countryside in this region. It was still better than the clumsy excuse of a ladies’ toilet I found in a tourist spot like Cactus Garden in Kalimpong city. 

Lolegaon Eco Park is a serene haven showcasing rich biodiversity and picturesque landscapes of this region. The park is flanked by lush green forests, home to a variety of flora and fauna, making it a paradise for nature enthusiasts and wildlife photographers. A recently constructed Buddha Statue has become the landmark of this place.

Our kid loved this place and the bright sunshine made way for spectacular views of the hills.

Drive to Charkhole

Located in the Kalimpong district of West Bengal, India, Charkhole is a lesser-known gem that beckons the lovers of offbeat travel. I’d love to stay in one of the homestays in this fairytale village on my next trip.

This small hill station, nestled at an elevation, offers panoramic views of the majestic Himalayan range, with the Kanchenjunga peak playing peek-a-boo amidst the clouds. The journey to Charkhole itself is a beautiful experience, with winding roads flanked by lush greenery and the occasional glimpse of vibrant Rhododendron flowers when in season.

There are several short treks through the forests of charkhole – namely, the sunrise viewpoint, sunset viewpoint, table-top viewpoint etc. While the view of Kanchenjunga on a clear day at these viewpoints are magical, the treks through the verdant landscape makes it worthwhile in itself, on any given day.

Deolo Park: The Summit of Kalimpong

Delo Park, situated on Delo Hill, is the highest point in Kalimpong, offering 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape. Perched at an elevation of 1,704 meters, Delo Park marks the highest point in Kalimpong, offering unmatched views of the surrounding valleys and the majestic Kanchenjunga range. 

Established as a recreational and ecological park, Delo has evolved from its historical significance as a strategic vantage point to a beloved tourist attraction. 

The park is a result of concerted efforts to provide visitors with a space that blends natural beauty with leisure facilities. Over the years, Delo Park has become synonymous with Kalimpong itself, representing the town’s commitment to preserving its natural charm while facilitating tourism.

Tourist Info: – Entry Fee: No entry fee for the park; charges apply for certain activities. – Open Times: Open throughout the day. – **Holidays:** Open daily.

A Few Other Places and Acitivities in Kalimpong

Here’s a quick walkthrough of a few activities I have skipped in this itinerary, along with my recommendations.

Paragliding in Kalimpong 👍👍

Kalimpong is soon becoming the Paragliding Paradise of the east, an alternative to Bir Billing in the West. The favorable wind conditions and thermal currents in the  Deolo Hills ensure a smooth and exhilarating flight. I couldn’t go for this epic adventure, but I found a framed form of Poran Bandhyapadhyay, a veteran actor of Bengali cinema who signed up for this adventure here at the age of 80. Photos of him and other adventurers adorn the walls of paraglifing camps at Deolo Park.

Kalimpong Golf Club 👎

The Kalimpong Golf club located near the Morgan House property. The entry to this park is restricted to visitors, but it is an overhyped place for the views that can only be seen through the metal nets. I don’t think it’s worth it. On top of that the cafe that’s so aesthetically decorated but prepares such awful food! I’ve been there, done that, so you don’t have to.

Morgan House 😑

It’s a beautiful heritage property that we couldn’t book due to lack of availability. However, every tourist brochure names this place as if it’s a tourist spot. It isn’t! Unless you are staying there, you won’t be allowed to enter. So please save your time and avoid both Morgan house and Golf Club during your local sightseeing.

Mangal Dham Temple 👍

Mangal Dham temple is a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Krishna. The temple is beautiful and well-maintained, a lovely place to spend some time.

Though it is about 1km from the Kalimpong bus station, the approach-road is a narrow and littered single-lane road. This makes it difficult to reach and come back from the place, taking away a lot of time from your sightseeing plans of the day.

Teesta River Rafting (Adults only activity) 👍

If you have one more day in Kalimpong, i recommend an excursion to the Teesta river-rafting center. It is located about 16 km from the town. Reaching the place and completing this adventure is a half-day plan in itself. It is not suitable for families with kids and senior citizens in general.

I had the pleasure of river rafting in the month of February with my friends while returning from our Sikkim trip . Surprisingly, this (the winter season) is the best time for this activity, and you will love it if you are on a trip with friends.

7th Mile Viewpoint

It’s a viewpoint you will come across on your way to Darjeeling from Kalimpong. While it’s lovely, if you are short on time, or don’t have Darjeeling on your tour plan, you can easily skip this.

What a nice guide to Kalimpong! Would love to visit Lava Monastery and and the cactus garden

Great tips for someone planning a visit.

I’ve been to India so many times but I have never been to any region that looks like this! What a goldmine, I’m definitely going to start looking into Kalimpong for my next India trip!

Thanks Shaf!

I definitely have heard of Darjeeling, and did not know about Kalimpong at all. Thank you for featuring this alternative.

Would love to visit Kalimpong to enjoy the views, visit the monastery, and explore the area.

Kalimpong, West Bengal: The Complete Guide

AROYBARMAN/Getty Images

Kalimpong, in West Bengal, sits 1,247 meters (4,091 feet) above sea level on a remote ridge in the Himalayan foothills, with the Teesta River at its base. The town's position provides superb views of Mount Kangchenjunga (the third highest peak in the world). Yet, much of Kalimpong's appeal is that tourists usually pass it by, in favor of more popular destinations such as Darjeeling and Gangtok in Sikkim . Nature and adventure lovers who prefer to get away from the crowds will find much on offer, though. Plan your trip there with this complete guide to Kalimpong.

Kalimpong wasn't always part of India. It originally belonged to the Kingdom of Sikkim, which was ruled by monarchs of the Namgyal dynasty. The monarchy was formally established in the 17th century by Buddhist priests, who made Phuntsog Namgyal the first chogyal (king). He was the descendant of a prince, Guru Tashi, from Tibet who had migrated to the area.

Following the death of the monarchy's second king Tensung Namgyal in 1700, there was disagreement as to who should succeed the throne. One of his children, who was unhappy with the outcome, invited the neighboring Bhutanese to invade Sikkim and intervene. The Namgyals eventually managed to reclaim much of their territory from the Bhutanese. However, this did not include present-day Kalimpong.

The Bhutanese continued to occupy and control Kalimpong until the Anglo-Bhutan War in 1865. After losing the war, the Bhutanese handed Kalimpong over to the British in the Treaty of Sinchula . At that time, Kalimpong was only a small village. The British liked the climate there, so they began to develop it as a hill station, as an alternative to nearby Darjeeling.

Kalimpong's location made it a convenient hub for trade with Tibet. As the town grew, it attracted more and more Nepalese, who came to improve their livelihoods. The area's indigenous inhabitants, the Lepchas, also flourished.

The arrival of Scottish missionaries in the late 19th century resulted in a flurry of construction—schools, churches, and hospitals were built. One man, Reverend Dr. John Anderson Graham, played a pivotal role in the town's progress by supporting and educating illegitimate children of Darjeeling tea estate workers. He also started the Kalimpong Mela, a horticultural show for local farmers. Meanwhile, his wife founded the Kalimpong Arts and Craft Center to teach vocational skills to women.

Kalimpong became part of the Indian state of West Bengal after India achieved independence from the British in 1947. However, China's invasion of Tibet in 1950 and subsequent Sino-Indian War with India in 1962 had a detrimental effect on the town's economy. India granted asylum to the Tibetans in 1959, which really angered China. Border disputes between the Chinese and Indians intensified, and this included border areas in and around Jelep Pass, connecting Sikkim to Tibet along the trade route. The pass was closed following the war and trade with Kalimpong halted.

Many Buddhist monks fled Tibet and established monasteries in Kalimpong, bringing with them important scriptures. These have become a defining part of Kalimpong's pervasive multicultural heritage, which also blends British, Nepalese, Sikkimese, Indian, and indigenous influences.

People are often surprised to learn that the Dalai Lama's second eldest brother lives in Kalimpong. He was a leader in the Tibetan resistance movement but now runs a noodle factory. Kalimpong was also thrust into the spotlight in 2006 as the setting for Kiran Desai's award-winning novel, The Inheritance of Loss . It earned her a Man Booker Prize.

Kalimpong is situated between two hills, Deolo and Durpin, in the extreme northern part of West Bengal, not far from the Sikkim border. It's about a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Darjeeling, and about three hours from Gangtok in Sikkim.

How to Get There

The closest airport to Kalimpong is Bagdogra in West Bengal, just under three hours away. A taxi from the airport to Kalimpong will cost about 2,600 rupees.

Alternatively, the nearest major railway station is New Jalpaiguri in West Bengal, about two and a half hours away. You'll be able to get a shared jeep from there to Kalimpong for about 200 rupees per person or a private taxi for about 2,200 rupees. Taxis and shared jeeps to Kalimpong also depart from nearby Siliguri Junction railway station, though this station is smaller and receives fewer trains. Buses, operated by the North Bengal Transport Corporation, are another option from both these places. They depart every hour or less and are worth considering, as they provide more leg room than the shared jeeps.

Those who prefer to self-drive can hire a vehicle from Zoomcar at Siliguri .

If you're headed to Kalimpong from Darjeeling, a private taxi will cost about 2,700 rupees. Shared jeeps are available too.

What to Do There

For clear mountain views, the ideal months to visit Kalimpong are during the dry season from October to May.

Standard half-day private sightseeing tours, offered by taxi drivers and local tour operators, will take you to all the main attractions toward Deolo Hill (in northeast Kalimpong) or Durpin Hill (in southwest Kalimpong). These tours can be combined into full-day tours to cover everything. Expect to pay about 1,500 rupees for a half-day tour or 2,000 for a full-day tour.

Northeast Kalimpong attractions include:

• Mangal Dham, a Hindu temple complex dedicated to Lord Krishna and Guruji Shir Mangaldasji Maharaj. It was constructed in 1993 and has captivating interiors adorned with scenes from Krishna's life.
• Thongsa Gompa, the oldest monastery in Kalimpong. It's often referred to as the Bhutanese Monastery, as it was built by the Bhutanese after they occupied Kalimpong.
• Tharpa Choling Gompa, founded in 1912 by renowned Tibetan Buddhist monk Domo Geshe Rinpoche Ngawang Kalsang who visited the area to collect medicinal plants. There's an interesting Chinese temple and museum in the compound too.
• Dr. Graham's Homes , founded in 1900 as an orphanage and school for underprivileged children. It has a small museum , open on weekdays, and an ornate church that looks like it's been lifted from the Scottish countryside.
• A large colorful statue of Lord Buddha seated on a lotus in a park.
• Sherpa Taar, a viewpoint overlooking the Teesta River that creates the border between West Bengal and Sikkim.
• Durga Mandir, a temple with a viewing gallery dedicated to Goddess Durga.
• Hanuman Tok, a temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman featuring a 30 foot-tall statue (the largest in region).
• Deolo Hill, the highest point in the area at about 5,500 feet above sea level. It has panoramic views, including spectacular sunrise vistas of Mount Kangchenjunga. The tourism department has developed an 8-acre recreation park on the summit, which is popular with families. There are snack stalls and pony rides. Government-run Deolo Tourist Lodge, a sprawling British era mansion, is part of the complex and offers basic accommodations that are all about location, location. It also has a restaurant.

Southwest Kalimpong attractions include:

• Nature Interpretation Center, an ecological museum operated by the forest department not far from town.
• Gouripur House, where acclaimed Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore stayed and composed some of his works. Unfortunately, it's in ruins. Pratima Tagore House, built by his daughter-in-law in 1943, is better maintained and has a lot of memorabilia.
• Army Golf Club, a picturesque landmark golf course established and maintained by the Indian Army stationed there.
• Morgan House, another colonial British-era mansion that's been converted into a government-run hotel. It's opposite the golf club.
• Durpin Monastery (officially called Zang Dhok Palri Monastery), Kalimpong's largest monastery and the highlight on Durpin Hill. It was built in 1972, after Tibetan monks fled to Kalimpong, and consecrated by the Dalai Lama 1976. The monastery has some impressive murals and rare Tibetan Buddhist manuscripts. You can join in the daily prayers at 6 a.m. and 3 p.m.
• Jelep La Viewpoint, below Durpin Monastery, has views all the way across to Jelep Pass on the former trade route with Tibet. It's also possible to see where the Teesta, Reang and Relli rivers meet.

In addition, there are some more attractions around town.

Don't miss the local market, Haat Bazaar, which really comes to life on Saturday and Wednesday mornings. It's a fantastic place to taste local food and shop for handmade souvenir items.

To see decorative paper being handmade, drop into Gangzong or Himalayan paper factories. Both are small-scale but Gangzong is the oldest one. You can buy paper products there.

Visit the Lepcha Museum to learn about the local indigenous culture of the area. It has all kinds of exhibits ranging from old religious manuscripts to traditional musical instruments.

Marvel over the unusual design of Saint Theresa's Church, which resembles a Buddhist shrine. It was built in 1929 by Swiss Jesuits. Gothic-style MacFarlane Church, completed in 1891, is also quite magnificent. It was renovated in 2011, after an earthquake damaged its bell tower.

Those with a passion for horticulture should put Kalimpong's numerous plant and flower nurseries on their itineraries. Pine View Nursery is renowned for its comprehensive cactus collection and can be included on the standard southwest Kalimpong sightseeing tour. Nurseryman’s Haven is a specialist orchid nursery within Holumba Haven .

Thrill-seekers can go paragliding in Kalimpong or rafting down the Teesta River. Do be aware that paragliding isn't properly regulated and there have been casualties. Himalayan Eagle is a reputable company that offers paragliding. Check out Aquaterra Tours for rafting trips (and a multitude of other outdoor experiences).

What Else to Do Nearby

One of the best things to do is simply hike around the area and enjoy nature. Try hiking from Kalimpong to Chitrey waterfall, through the rice fields. If you're interested in local village life, Kalimpong-based NGO Mondo Challenge offers a worthwhile community-based Village Discovery Hiking Tour that supports poor rural villages. The tour has options from one to three days, and you'll get to spend time in villages with different lifestyles and traditions.

Kalimpong is the gateway to several other villages located an hour or so east of town. A day trip to Lava is recommended for bird watching. The national park has wetlands and you can go on hikes through the forest. There's also a Buddhist monastery and Samabeong Tea Estate in the vicinity. A local market is held on Tuesdays. Expect to pay about 3,500 rupees return in a taxi.

Lolegaon offers a canopy walk across hanging bridges in the forest.

More tea estates are situated further afield, about three hours east of Kalimpong. These include Ambiok Tea Estate, Mission Hill Tea Estate, Upper Fagu and Kumai Tea Estate.

There are other hiking opportunities around Pedong, a hour northeast of Kalimpong. You can stop and see the ruins of 17th century Damsang Fort, and quaint Sillery Gaon village, on the way. Expect to pay about 3,000 rupees for a return day trip.

Where to Eat

Make sure you sample the yummiest momos (a kind of dumpling) in town! Gompu's, on the main road not far from the Haat Bazaar, is famous for its plump signature pork momos. Don't like pork? There are other Tibetan dishes on the menu.

For an unforgettable view with your food, The Art Cafe is a hip place to hang out in the same area. As its name suggests, it promotes local artists. The coffee is great there too.

Stop by Lark's Provisions to pick up local specialties such as Kalimpong cheese and homemade pickles.

Where to Stay

The iconic Himalayan Hotel, which dates back to 1905 and was the first hotel in the region, has been refurbished and recently reopened as the luxurious Mayfair Himalayan Spa Resort .
